Columbus Stockade: Lyrics

Traditional

• CD American Roots

Way down in Columbus Stockade
Want to be back in Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade
Where my friends went back on me

You can go and leave me if you want to
Never let me cross your mind
In your heart you love another
Leave me, darling, I don't mind

Play boy...
Play it pretty
Columbus Stockade

Way down in Columbus Stockade
Left me there to lose my mind
Thinking about my blue-eyed Sally(?)
Purty little gal I left behind

You can go and leave me if you want to
Never let me cross your mind
In your heart you love another
Leave me, darling, I don't mind

You can go and leave me if you want to
Never let me cross your mind
In your heart you love another
Leave me, darling, I don't mind

Of note:

Another of the many performances where Woody leaves Cisco hanging. But some fine guitar playing by Cisco here; a delightful performance with way more tuneful music than the usual strumming.
